Yeah, a rework is what I'm thinking. Extend him one year and pay cash in a signing bonus. I don't think I'd want him around on the current deal, but you'd have to gaurentee me Mikey would use the savings elsewhere.
It'd make more sense to cut Hopkins. You save $6Mil and you've already paid out for a replacement and have a young 2nd Rd draft pick
